NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- echo3D, a cloud platform that is revolutionizing the way 3D, AR and VR content is stored and streamed, has secured an investment of $4 million led by Konvoy Ventures, with participation from Space Capital LP, Remagine Ventures, and angel investors Datadog, GitHub, and Facebook. The announcement comes on the heels of echo3D's latest milestone of registering 11,000 users worldwide since 2020.

Founded in March 2018, echo3D, formerly known as echoAR, focuses on building tools and infrastructure to help developers create lighter and faster 3D games and apps. The cross-platform cloud solution stores, manages, and streams 3D content to mobile devices, browsers and smart camera devices anywhere, while connecting all of them and extracting analytics. The company's technology also converts, compresses, and optimizes 3D models, animations, and interactive content, and streams this to any smartphone, headset, or browser. Developers using echo3D have built cloud-connected games, AR advertisement campaigns, NFT marketplaces, and more.

"At a time when advancements in 3D have helped AR, VR and gaming to become billion dollar industries, and concepts like 'the Metaverse' to become a reality, we are among the first to provide the backend infrastructure needed to bring these things to fruition," said Alon Grinshpoon, Co-Founder of echo3D. "This is a pivotal time for the augmented and virtual reality ecosystem, and we are excited to have the support of Konvoy Ventures as we continue to grow our platform and service the tech community. We will use the funds raised to bolster our product offering, expand developer relations efforts, and grow our team of developers and marketers."

Thanks to a pipeline of better, more user-friendly devices, the growth in AR and VR devices is expected to accelerate from 7.06 million units in 2020 to 76.71 million units in 2024. The gaming industry has already benefited from these advancements, seeing accelerated growth in 2021 with earnings of $335.5B. These hardware improvements highlight the tremendous challenge the industry still faces: providing backend infrastructure to support the 3D, AR and VR applications running on these devices, to reduce file sizes and development times, and improve usability for developers and users alike. echo3D, which was recently named a Verified Solutions Partner of Unity, the world's leading game engine, has created a 3D-first content management system (CMS) and delivery network (CDN) that allow developers to build their app backend in minutes, and allow their clients to easily publish content to the 3D games and apps without involving development teams.

"We invested in echo3D because they're building the infrastructure that will support the next generation of content," said Taylor Hurst, Principal at Konvoy Ventures. "The future of the internet and the content we engage with will be interactive and immersive; current infrastructure is not built to support that future at scale. Since meeting Alon, and partners Koren Grinshpoon and Ben Pedazur, we've been impressed with how they view the evolution of content and their ability to build for that future."
